This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes filmmaker and AwardsWatch contributor Zach Laws to discuss the 1976 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Faye Dunaway won for her performance in "Network," beating Marie-Christine Barrault in "Cousin Cousine," Talia Shire in "Rocky," Sissy Spacek in "Carrie," and Liv Ullmann in "Face to Face." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Dunaway.
